Building Character Physicality with Jeff Book

Building Character Physicality with Jeff Book

Event Details

  • Date: –
Developing the physical qualities and attributes of a character for stage or film performance is a fundamental skill actors need to master.  When an actor takes on a role, there is a responsibility to create a character which is credible in several dimensions – psychologically, socially and physically. The “Building Character Physicality” workshop will help you to not only develop the physical attributes for a given character, but also combine the social and psychological components which ultimately define the physical presentation.  In this workshop you will learn:
  • building character physicality
  • story telling through stage movement
  • addressing technical challenges of character physicality on the stage
  • introduction to Laban technique
  • introduction to Method acting technique and influences on character physicality
  • accessing emotional truth through physical expression
The workshop is a combination of theory and practical application exercises.

Cost per 2 day session: €120 for FEST Members and €150 for non-FEST Members

Course will be conducted with a minimum of 6 and maximum of 12 participants.

Dates: Feb 15&16 (Sat and Sun, 09:00-16:00)
